Best Tyrant Poems
Beware the TyrantTyrants fat upon their moon
With untold minions to command...
Knew a diversion would be needed
As malcontent laid waste the land.
They yearn to cast aspersion
By letting forth a hellish storm
Against those of us far far away
With thoughts different from their own.
What about the children?
They shriek about the...

Tyrant Tears and FearsMarried for eleven years
It began simply, with daily tears
It wasn’t always bad
Yet on most days I felt terribly sad
The good times were great
No indication of our eventual fate
Together we spawn two children
Early in life they knew the bail bondsman
He began to own me, to assert...

A Tyrantfinds ease in cutting corners
difficulty in shedding light in the dark
such a mortal’s combat is just
he thinks
no evils lurk in capacity
from heights beyond notice
because capacity is the just
he persuades
the sky screeches
the ground bellows
cries flat line and streams of pain mark the surface
for the wondering
the mortal...

Beware TyrantBEWARE TYRANT
Thou cannot be all
The executive, legislative and bench
Thy powers are in others
Who recognizes your
Thou could never be
The importer and exporter
The manufacturer and consumer
The farmer and the banker
How can thou be?
The employer and the employee
The governor and the governe’
The actor and the audience
Think about

Tyrant BluesYou ruled your home like a tyrant
Everyone was afraid
That you'd come home one day and take
The coins out of their arcade
You ruled your home like a tyrant
You made everybody cry
On her wedding day your daughter left
Without looking you in the eye
You ruled your home like...

The TyrantThe Tyrant
How cruel is love:
That it might entice a statue ,
Then forsake it when it move.
That it might crown a man Emperor,
Then banish him from his kingdom.
That it might deliver a man from the gallows,
Only to have him murdered by its own hand.
Oy vey,...

The Tyrant, the Man, My DadYou made my childhood scary,
I feared you when I was bad.
Trying so hard to make you happy,
The tyrant, the man, my dad.
I waited patiently everyday,
To hear those three little words.
“I love you” was all you needed to say,
But they were rarely heard.
Teaching me about life’s...

Thoughts of a Blond Tyrantcoltscoach56
When summer rain, tackles the sun. Blinding the willing, and then again none. Directive span, stretching in the sand. From whom, will we demand, this lacking warmth. you may say, I have gone daft. that you may be right. Locked in this mental, waking frustration....

My Heart Is a Deafening TyrantMy heart is a deafening tyrant
Eager to bring its horde to bear
At Waterloo .
Crushing what little resistance
I offer in hasty retreat
No quarter given
No white flag flown
Once the carnage is complete
All that will remain
Is the echo of you...

Another Tyrant CrumbOsama Bin Laden, hiding is he,
not like a man but like a flea.
Long it won't be till he is found,
Americans are, the "True Blood Hounds,"
Another coward like Houssein,
will be captured and refrained.
Thinking himself invincible,
eventually he will take a fall.
Smile's they wear on their face,
a frown...

Innocent Son of a TyrantFather and son in the same world, facing opposite directions
both consciences battle it out in the ring beneath the palace
if his father won’t be in hell, he will be five minutes late
a man of no honour, less reverenced than his own white horse
this young...

I Seek Not For PowerO ye that love to stay higher
Above others like a tower,
Where lies Goliath with his power,
When David defeated power,
And cut every pride like a mower?
O ye that boast of thy power;
What good is in thy power?
I do not fear thy power,
For I seek not for power,
But...

BabangidaIn this mess, we called a country, the destroyers lived among
Babangida once terrorized us with Khaki, failures affect all,
Ruled as a tyrant forgetting the future, had power but looted the country,
A mere servant of a few days, served themselves, retired with stolen wealth...
